Hernandez responds, "You know it's a little fishy to have three board members all at once, within three hours of a meeting, which they knew was going to be contentious. They all got word as I did of this rally."

Board Member Buck Crouch adds, "I think it's distracting us from what we need to be doing as a district."

Hernandez and Crouch showed up to speak with community members, who maybe didn't know of the cancellation. The pair were not part of the rally itself.

"I think we're the laughing stock not only inside the city, but outside the city," says Arellano.
